I agree. As a fan of Marvel and Star Wars, Let me get this straight, So Billy Dee Williams, who played Berry Gordy is Lando Calrissian from "Star Wars". Angela Bassett, who played Katherine is Ramonda from "Black Panther". Bumper Robinson, who played Jackie (Ages 12-16) is the voice of Falcon from "Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 - The Black Order" video game by Nintendo/KOEI TECMO Games, is that about right?
Man him an these guys ate the Jacksons food. This performance was better than any Jackson actual performance. They ate their food 😂 especially at the end they killed it.
Oscy And I personnally think he moves way to much. He's doing too much, and that makes his performance look... less good. The triple spin at the end rocked though :p
TAS Jarrett He DID an AMAZING job! I mean not everyone can do the moves Michael did and with his aura...I just thought it was too obvious he was lip syncing that's all...
They killed that shit!!! Hands down!!!!! Salute to them actors who portrayed all of them especially Wylie Draper man he was a beast with it!!!!! He made mike proud 💯 #RipMichaelJackson #RipWylieDraper #LegendsNeverDie
BEST Michael impression ever. Sadly Wylie Draper (actor playing Michael in this movie) passed away back in '93. Then 17 years later we lost the Original. :( RIP Wylie, RIp Michael
Wylie Draper did so well playing Michael, I dont know how anybody is gonna top this. Jaafar is gonna have to bring his A game in his uncle's upcoming biopic. God bless him. Side note: Michael hand picked Wylie himself. God bless Michael.
Wylie goes SO hard at 2:05 he almost goes ahead of the beat! This has been my PART for 30 years. I remember getting up trying to do it when it first aired (I am old).
ULTIMATEbudokai3 not really everyone did well for the most part Micheal was lead for dancing and vocals which is partly why he went single the others didn’t have to do much but be on point with choreography and singing minus Tito and Jermaine who had to play at the same time but still they weren’t supposed to be doing everything Michael was doing either
This was the absolute best bio series done on the Jacksons! The new Michael Jackson biopic has some monumental shoes to fill. I remember watching this when it aired in 1992!
That's sad as shit that this guy died a year after airing this movie, and I didn't hear about this until today. Hand picked by Mike himself to play this part, he fucking died happy. I sure as shit would've.
Hahaha yes! Don't forget about Get Rich Die Trying (With 50 cent). Wanna blow your mind more.... Watch Hustle and Flow (song "It's hard out here for a pimp")
Girl, I can't tell you how many times I would rewind just to watch that part, that and the spin at the end of dance number 2:37, legit! Wylie Draper was beyond talented, may he rest in peace
Lawrence Hilton Jacobs did a good job playing their dad Joe Jackson too. And of course Angela Bassett did a great job playing Katherine Jackson. Very good movie.
The actors playing the Jacksons did a great job. It was like watching the real Jacksons on stage. The guy playing Michael even danced like Michael. RIP to Michael and Draper. Both were so talented.
@@4thecollectorsI think he played the oldest brother Jackie. Now it’s hard for me to watch this and true suspend my disbelief because whenever I Terrance in the show all I can think about is the memes! Like the “mane” memes! I saw one and it said something like yeah, I was in Ironmane lol… you had to be there to get the joke👀😬🤦🏾♂️. Lol
The casting for this film is all time great it’s not easy choosing actors for bio films but the rare times they get it right it’s legendary and this is it!
Wylie Draper and Terrance Howard and everyone did a really good job potraying my icon. They actually could sing and harmonize. The personality traits were great. RIP Wylie Draper. Been watching since I was born. Watching in 2017 how bout u
They played this miniseries on various channels in honour of MJ's death back in '09 & many ppl were surprised that Wylie Draper had died in '93 of Leukaemia.
This scene quite possibly is the most believable bio epic moment ever caught perfectly. Every single actor, was talented than any actor today to be able to act and dance like that. Absolutely unbelievable how believable this moment was.
I love this song. My favorite part is when he says"just like Jacky in grade school"the thing he does with his waist.....MJ a legend to be remembered for life....Love youuu...
Actually...i always said that. They killed it more than The real Jacksons themself. It was more dynamic. The Jacksons and Michael never did it like that. The Victory Tour wasn't all that except for the Billie Jean part of Victory Tour.
the casting of this was so well done. I remember watching this for an entire day binging off from school. They don’t make tv mini series like this anymore
Wow this brother nailed it hard. I didn't even realize it was not Michael Jackson until I started reading comments. His energy was just like Michael Jackson; the best impersonator I've ever seen portrayed MJ. Ohhb danng he died too soon. Rip Legend 🙏
I've watched this dozens of times, best portrayal of Michael to date. Jafaar has some big shoes to fill. RIP to that actor. This movie is hos legacy. Job well done.
Watching this movie made think even more that Michael shouldn't have died. But Rest In Peace king of pop. I grew up to you and I'm a 90s baby. Thank you for the nostalgia, I saw you on Rockin with the chipmunks on VHS.
0:15-0:24 & 1:03 are my favorite parts!!! I love this song man....they definitely killed it. Wylie was everything for the portrayal of Michael! Excellent job. (claps hands) And that's huge coming from me because I'm a die-hard MJ fan, OK! LOL I'm about to watch this movie again right now just because of these comments. ;-)
I haven't watched The Jacksons An American Dream in awhile, but I wish they would put this movie on DVD or Digital Download. I've seen this and The Temptations Movie a million times! The New Edition Story I didn't see as much, but these are three of the best Black Musical Biopics ever made!

@Vahn Williams I’ve seen a lot of impersonations, and Wylie embodied Michael perfectly.

Michael Jackson worked with him during the movie with choreography
My family didn’t believe me when I told them it wasn’t actually Michael!

Honestly they did better here than the original motown 25.
@@YoungBoss212this is the victory tour not Motown 25 🫤
Yet the whole thing was a cringe fest
@YoungGoated didn't sing nor play any instruments just danced
The guy who plays Michael did a pretty good job portraying him.
+Muslimah Princess you're taking it too far
+Muslimah Princess True...just like Chris Brown is a better dancer than Mike was
+Muslimah Princess way to far no one can beat the original MJ have you seen the spin in speed demon
Cool Dorkz MJ wasn't actually original
+Matthew Williams he created the dab
Today's kids don't know about sitting through all 5 hours of this when it came on tv
Man look, lol
Sho don't. You betta ask somebody!
i was born the year he died and he died a couple weeks before i was born . i’ve loved him from the moment i entered this earth

Rightttt
Til this day, Wylie Draper is still the only actor who played Michael Jackson to pure perfection... God rest his soul 😔🙏🏾🕊
Man him an these guys ate the Jacksons food. This performance was better than any Jackson actual performance. They ate their food 😂 especially at the end they killed it.
I can’t wait to see Jafar Jackson’s
Let’s not forget about Jason Weaver
That was mostly awful and cringy
@@KingBreeze07pure cringe crap 😂
This Movie, The Temptations Story and The New Edition Story are the best Musical Bio Movies ! All 3 movies had the best actors play in them!!
YES 100%.
You forgot Tina turner and Selena
He dance. Just. Like. Him. And. Sounds like him too! !!
Bobby brown story
Deanta Smith 👍Yup. And now we can add The New Edition Story, too.
This whole scene was PURE ENERGY! I remember as a kid getting hyped up during this scene! Draper and the other guys KILLED it!
Electrifying!!
@nicholasgreen339 that's one of Jermaine Jackson sons that's playing his role
Same
The high five between Michael and Tito in this scene brought tears!
Wylie Draper was a great choice, he has the energy that Michael had, R.I.P. Wylie and Michael, I hope you two are having fun dancing together.
i think he had more energy than michael

Granted, Wylie didn't have to do a ton of shows touring in a row.
Oscy And I personnally think he moves way to much. He's doing too much, and that makes his performance look... less good. The triple spin at the end rocked though :p

+anointed2wait But it was Drapers voice here.
When I first saw this I thought Draper was actually an MJ clone! Impressive acting on his behalf. May he and Michael rest in peace.
Bra i thought that was him.
Well i was little when i thought that.☺

BEST Michael impression ever. Sadly Wylie Draper (actor playing Michael in this movie) passed away back in '93. Then 17 years later we lost the Original. :( RIP Wylie, RIp Michael
WhaaaaaAAATT??? I didn’t know he passed away!!!! And that couldn’t have been but so long after this came out.... such a shame :( rip
Less than 17
Wiley Draper was a beast! His performance gives me goose bumps, that spin at 2:38 was SOLID! RIP the late GREAT MJ, RIP Draper.
2:36
Terrace Howard was also one of the brothers
The actors did an amazing job with the movie in general but especially this performance. Watched this movie countless times growing up.
Wylie killed the role as Michael Jackson tbhh
When i was younger i actually thought he was Michael lol
@@ConciousK2323 He most certainly did!
Wylie Draper did so well playing Michael, I dont know how anybody is gonna top this. Jaafar is gonna have to bring his A game in his uncle's upcoming biopic. God bless him. Side note: Michael hand picked Wylie himself. God bless Michael.
Preach
Trust and believe jaafar is gonna blow it outta the park
Wylie goes SO hard at 2:05 he almost goes ahead of the beat! This has been my PART for 30 years. I remember getting up trying to do it when it first aired (I am old).
No ma'am cause this is my PART too like I was practicing those dance moves
My favorite part of this scene.
The foot work at 1:04 it’s straight 🔥🔥🔥 Wylie Draper absolutely destroyed this performance…the best I’ve ever seen anyone portray MJ
Facts frm tha spin. To tha foot slide, into tha foot work , and tha electricity shimmy. Was all pure genius. 😊
Bro understood the assignment before that phrase was even coined 👌🏾🔥🔥 Just from the simple walk in intro 0:10
So fire
Anyone can do it if they practice
he played the Michael Jackson role nice
This guy was definitely the BEST MJ portrayed in film.
Everyone else that played MJ in other films sucked bad!
ULTIMATEbudokai3 not really everyone did well for the most part Micheal was lead for dancing and vocals which is partly why he went single the others didn’t have to do much but be on point with choreography and singing minus Tito and Jermaine who had to play at the same time but still they weren’t supposed to be doing everything Michael was doing either
Wow yall hate even the fake jacksons brothers smh
@@damienlomax1946 Pretty sure he was saying other portrayals of Michael, not the brothers in this movie
Nah, teenage Mike was great too. The youngest wasn't very good, but kids generally aren't.
No they not

@JUSTIN BLACK Leukemia
He passed away after the movie
Not only that, MJ also gave him a dancing part (Or non speaking acting role)in the "Remember the Time" music video.
damn Lucious Lyon was a Jackson too?!?! lol what a career lmao
u dumbbbb lol lol lol
Bahahaha I can't wit you

Lmao
Hahaha yes! Don't forget about Get Rich Die Trying (With 50 cent). Wanna blow your mind more.... Watch Hustle and Flow (song "It's hard out here for a pimp")
This movie meant alot in my childhood days. So sad I didn't get the chance to see the Jackson 5 and MJ in their prime days.
Same exact feelings with me
Same for me. Glad that I got to witness this movie growing up.
Who’s here after hearing Tito died? R.I.P. to him, Mike, Joe and Brandon.
And Wyllie

Brandon?

The nostalgia this gives my heart ❤️
THAT PART!!!
1:00-1:10 has to be some the best dancing I've seen in my life
I KNOW it's ridiculous!
I’ve rewinded this clip at least 10 times!! This look and sounds almost like the real deal! Wylie set the bar high
Couldn't tell him he wasn't mike😂😂😂 he nailed this shid
he’s literally so smooth with the dance moves.
This is the best version of this song. Wylie Draper as an actor portraying MJ as a performer did amazing!!!! He could have been a superstar himself!
Gtfoh this is nowhere near the original you have to be on drugs to think this
1:02 yoooooo Wylie is off the chain! Look at that footwork!
Girl, I can't tell you how many times I would rewind just to watch that part, that and the spin at the end of dance number 2:37, legit! Wylie Draper was beyond talented, may he rest in peace
Boo thats just bif FACT
Right i watch that part the most. It’s locked in perfectly to the rhythm.
Best part lol
